  1. a) process the personal data only on Subscriber’s documented instructions, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organisation, unless required to do so by the Union or Member State law governing such personal data. In such a case, EstatesGazette shall inform Subscriber of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest;

Where that other processor fails to fulfil those data protection obligations, EstatesGazette shall (subject to the Conditions of these Conditions) remain fully liable to Subscriber for the performance of that other processor’s obligations.

2.4. The subject-matter of EstatesGazette ’s processing is the personal data provided related to Radius Services and Licensed Materials under these Conditions.

(b)   the Subscriber may cease to submit Subscriber Data to Service;

(c)   EG may retain all Subscriber Data delivered by or on behalf of the Contributor to the Service prior to termination  and continue to use the Subscriber Data (other than Red Data except where that Red Data is already at the date of termination part of Analytics and Statistics) as permitted pursuant to clause 8.6.  EG will also return all Red Data delivered by the Contributor and (regardless of the date of delivery) expunge all the Contributor’s raw Red Data from EG’s systems and the Service  ; and

(d)  EG shall, upon written request from the Subscriber within 60 days of the date of termination or expiry of the Agreement, provide the Subscriber with a copy of all  Subscriber Data submitted to EG by or on behalf of the Subscriber during the Subscription Term (subject to that Subscriber Data having been delivered within the period of 5 years prior to the termination date).

18.2                 On expiry of a Subscription without renewal, or on termination or cancellation of a subscription for any reason during the Subscription Term, the Subscriber shall cease all use of the  Service and EG Materials immediately and delete all such EG Materials from its systems unless otherwise agreed in writing.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Subscriber is not obliged to contribute new Subscriber Data after termination takes effect or after expiry of the Agreement. Without limitation to the foregoing, termination of the Agreement by EG other than pursuant to clause 18.2 or clause 17.1(d does not affect EG’s right to receive any Subscription Fee for the remainder of the then current term (if is the Initial Term or the First Renewal Term as the case may be, but not any Further Renewal Term) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, (for purposes of illustration, if EG were to terminate the Agreement other than under Clause 17.2 or clause 18.1(e) at any time during the Initial Term, Subscriber would pay the remainder of the Subscription Fees for the Initial Term only).  Termination of the Agreement by the Contributor under clause 3.4, 18.3 or 17.4 (a) or (b) ends EG’s rights to any future Subscription Fee payments for the balance of the then current term.

18.4                 The Subscriber shall only be entitled to a refund of any paid Subscription Fee (pro-rated to reflect the remaining year of the Subscription Term to which it applies from the date of termination) in the event that the Agreement is terminated by the Subscriber pursuant to 17.3, or 17.4 or by EG pursuant to clause 18.2.

SCHEDULE 2:

THE GDPR – DATA PROCESSING ADDENDUM (“DPA”)

Scope

1.1.          This DPA applies to EG’s processing of personal data on Subscriber’s behalf under the Agreement. With regard to such processing, Subscriber is the controller of the personal data and EG are the processor of the personal data. This DPA does not apply where EG are a controller of personal data.

Processing

2.1. EG shall not engage another processor without Subscriber’s prior specific or general written authorisation. In the case of general written authorisation, EG shall inform Subscriber of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of other processors, thereby giving Subscriber the opportunity to object to such changes in the manner more specifically set forth herein.

2.2. EG’s processing shall be governed by this DPA under Union or governing Member State law as set forth in the Agreement. In particular, EG shall:

  1. a) process the personal data only on Subscriber’s documented instructions, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organisation, unless required to do so by the Union or Member State law governing such personal data. In such a case, EG shall inform Subscriber of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest;
  2. b) ensure that persons authorised to process the personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality;
  3. c) take all measures required pursuant to Article 32(Security of Processing) of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”);
  4. d) respect the conditions referred to in paragraphs 2.1 and 2.3 for engaging another processor;
  5. e) taking into account the nature of the processing, assist Subscriber by appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of Subscriber’s obligation to respond to requests for exercising the data subject’s rights laid down in Chapter III of the GDPR;
  6. f) assist Subscriber in ensuring compliance with the obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to EG;
  7. g) at Subscriber’s choice and/or on expiry or termination of Agreement, delete or return to Subscriber all the personal data after the end of the provision of Service and EG Material relating to processing and delete existing copies unless Union or Member State or other applicable law requires storage of the personal data (which for the avoidance of doubt, does not apply to aggregated or anonymized data);
  8. h) make available to Subscriber all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations laid down in Article 28 of the GDPR and allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by Subscriber or another auditor at the Subscriber’s mandate;
  9. i) immediately inform Subscriber if, in EG’s opinion, an instruction from Subscriber to EG infringes the GDPR or other Union or Member State data protection provisions.

2.3. Where EG engages another processor for carrying out specific processing activities on Subscriber’s behalf, the same data protection obligations as set out in this DPA shall be imposed on that other processor by way of a contract or other legal act under Union or Member State law, in particular providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures in such a manner that the processing will meet the requirements of the GDPR. Where that other processor fails to fulfil those data protection obligations, EG shall (subject to the terms of the Agreement) remain fully liable to Subscriber for the performance of that other processor’s obligations.

2.4. The subject-matter of EG’s processing is the personal data provided related to Service and EG Materials under the terms of the Agreement. The duration of the processing is the duration of the provision of the  Services and EG Materials under the Agreement. The nature and purpose of the processing is in connection with the provision of Service and EG Materials under this Agreement. The types of personal data processed are as set out in relevant product descriptions and other types of personal data submitted to the Service. The categories of data subjects are Subscriber’s employees, Authorised Users and clients, prospects, suppliers, business partners and others whose personal data is submitted to the Service.

2.5. The Agreement including this DPA are Subscriber’s complete and final documented instructions to EG for the processing of personal data. Additional or alternate instructions must be agreed upon separately by the parties. EG will ensure that its personnel engaged in the processing of personal data will process personal data only on Subscriber’s documented instructions, unless required to do so by Union, Member State or other applicable law.

Sub-processing

3.1. Subscriber hereby provide EG general consent to engage other processors for the processing of personal data in accordance with this DPA. EG shall maintain a list of such processors (which EG may update from time to time) and make it available to Subscriber on request. Subscriber may object to the change without penalty by notifying EG within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of EG’s notice. Without prejudice to any applicable refund or termination rights Subscriber have under the terms of the Agreement, EG shall use reasonable endeavours to change, modify or remove the affected Services or EG Materials to avoid processing of personal data by such new processor to which Subscriber reasonably object.

Data Subject Rights

4.1. EG shall, to the extent legally permitted, promptly notify Subscriber of any data subject requests EG receives and reasonably cooperate with Subscriber to fulfil Subscriber’s obligations under the GDPR in relation to such requests. Subscriber shall be responsible for any reasonable costs arising from EG’s providing assistance to Subscriber to fulfil such obligations.

Transfer

5.1. EG shall ensure that, to the extent that any personal data originating from the UK, Switzerland or EEA is transferred by EG to another processor in a country or territory outside the UK, Switzerland or EEA that has not received a binding adequacy decision by the European Commission or competent national data protection authority, such transfer shall be subject to an appropriate transfer mechanism that provides an adequate level of protection in accordance with the GDPR.

Security Of Processing

6.1. Taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the parties shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including inter alia as appropriate:

  1. a) the pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data;
  2. b) the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services;

  4. d) a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures for ensuring the security of the processing.

6.2. In assessing the appropriate level of security, account shall be taken in particular of the risks that are presented by processing, in particular from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.

6.3. The parties shall take steps to ensure that any natural person acting under the authority of either party who has access to personal data does not process them except on instructions from Subscriber, unless he or she is required to do so by Union or Member State law.

Personal Data Breach

7.1. EG shall notify Subscriber without undue delay after becoming aware of a personal data breach and shall reasonably respond to Subscriber’s requests for further information to assist Subscriber in fulfilling Subscriber’s obligations under Articles 33 and 34 of the GDPR.

Records Of Processing Activities

8.1. EG shall maintain all records required by Article 30(2) of the GDPR and, to the extent applicable to the processing of personal data on Subscriber’s behalf, make them available to Subscriber as required.

  5. e) Conducted at a mutually agreed upon time and in an agreed upon manner.
